Talking about "bonkers" ?

I prefer the term - "happy with a twist".

Trumpster,

I acknowledge that wars during Donald's first term were lesser than in Biden's term, but Biden is a well established warmongery. I didn't say your folk hero was a warmonger, in fact I added warmonger to Harris. I said; "As long as DDD does't start WWIII", that could happen by accident or design, late one Stormy night in his black silky PJ's, Donald could push the big red button by mistake, thinking he's flushing a turd or some such thing down the loo. These things happen, particularly when you're in a hurry to get back to business.

As for the overweight blah, blah, one guy had already established himself in that department, there was no room for a second, winners are grinners.

BTW; Ain't all these American election rigged? You said last time it was, why is it different now?

Unlike you a Good Olde' Boy from Alabama, I had only a passing interest in the outcome. I just wanted to see YOU decked out in your buffalo horn outfit with the red, white and blue face paint on, rampaging around Washington in January. I'd even switch from the ABC to watch that!

Dear mhaze,

.

You wrote :

« Seriously?

It is seriously your contention that Trump told people to go and overthrow the government by NOT telling them to go and overthrow the government. »
.

Hopefully, your incomprehension is sincere, mhaze. Perhaps it's because you are not a member of the Trump sect.

On Wednesday 6th January 2021 the joint session of Congress convened, with Vice President Pence presiding in his role as president of the Senate, to formally count the votes of the Electoral College.

The day began with a rally near the White House to bolster Trump’s false claim that the 2020 presidential race was stolen from him.

The rally had been organised by Trump and his advisers and an organisation called Women for America First which held the permit for the “Stop the Steal” rally.

The rally organizers told the National Park Service that they anticipated 30,000 people would attend. The Army Secretary, Ryan McCarthy, estimated there could be possibly 80,000 protesters. The Associated Press said, in fact, there were about 10,000.

Trump addressed the crowd for more than an hour and said he would “never concede” the race, and that if his supporters didn’t “fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore.”

In a tweet the previous day (Tuesday 5th January), Trump falsely asserted that Pence "has the power to reject fraudulently chosen electors". The Constitution gives the vice president no such power. What Trump wanted was to overturn the election by having his supporters prevent Mike Pence from validating the results.

A gallows was erected west of the Capitol, with rioters chanting to "Hang Mike Pence" after he rejected calls to overturn the election results.

The guru did not instruct the members of his sect, to “overthrow the government”, mhaze. They knew, without him having to tell them, that Trump wanted them to stop Pence from validating the election results.

Weeks later, nearly 200 of those arrested following the attack declared that they were responding to calls by Donald Trump to help keep him in the White House.

Earlier I wrote: "There is no example of Trump telling anyone to invade the congress building. I'm sure you've looked trying to disprove that. Stop looking because it doesn't exist."

Well you've certainly stopped looking and are now deflecting.

I also pointed out that there was no insurrection, the only person killed was a protestor, most 'insurrectionists' strolled into the building unhindered, took selfies and left, one was given a guided tour by security who opened locked doors for him, and that Pelosi had admitted on camera that it was all her fault.

All of which you ignored because it doesn't fit your false narrative.

Paul asked: "Ain't all these American election rigged? You said last time it was, why is it different now?"

I explained it earlier. the main reason was that the GOP had 1000's of lawyers available to kill any cheating in its tracks, although as we get further into it its clear that some cheating managed to evade their efforts. But not enough to overcome Trump's massive lead.

"And mhaze calls me bonkers"

No....I observed that you were bonkers. Seeing footage of your hero admitting to villainous acts and ignoring it because you'd prefer it wasn't true is, truly bonkers.

mhaze,

Arguing with you is pointless. You make excuses for Trump
when the rhetoric comes out of his mouth live. And you deny
it, excuse it, and justify it. Yet you don't extend the
same courtesy to Harris. Videos can be manipulated.
And this was clearly done with Harris. But what can be expected
from someone who is a Trump supporter. Supporting a man who
does what he does best - bullies, lies, boasts,
and promises retribution.

Naturally you don't think that is bonkers.
